Chapter 2- Magically Deep
Disclaimer: Second verse, same as the first! I don't own Zelda, Nintendo, or anything. I don't even own err… I don't know, but I don't really own anything. :3 enjoy.
Notes and such:
Blueirish: No, the story isn't really based off of rumors. I actually don't like the whole "OMG, LINK AN ZELDA R SIBLINGZ LOLZ." Thing… Oh, and I'm only just now playing OoT on the Wii. -mauled by many OoT fans-
Maddy: Sorry it was so short, I actually wrote it before, but edited it and stuff. So I left out a lot. This chapter will hopefully be longer.
The-Jaron: Rawr, no, that wasn't Sheik's harp. I actually forgot s/he had one… I was thinking more of Medli's. But hmm, now I've got some ideas.
Thanks to everyone who reviewed!
Ughn… I let out a small moan as I sat up. What happened? The last thing I remember was Zelda telling me… No, she couldn't have. There's no way we're related, is there? I looked around to find I was still in the princess's room, but it was dark outside now, and she wasn't anywhere to be found. Then I heard a soft noise and assumed it was the harp, so I followed it out of the overly frilly room. After wandering a bit, I found myself in the music room downstairs. It was beautiful. There were etchings of the goddesses all over the walls and trim. The room was painted a soft, milky beige. In the middle of it all sat the princess herself on a small stool, stroking the instrument delicately.
"Oh, Link! You finally woke up, yay! I was beginning to think there was really something wrong." She said, looking up from the golden harp that she held in her hands.
"Uhm, no I'm fine. What happened though? How long was I asleep?" I said.
"After I showed you how absolutely beautiful the harp sounded, you just kinda fainted. Eeee! I was so scared! But you're ok now, so I'm glad." The princess said quickly. She was obviously glad to see I was ok. But she was so vague about things… What exactly caused me to black out? And what's with that harp she's carrying around? It doesn't seem like a normal harp.
"Hey, maybe you should stay here overnight! I don't want anything else to happen to you. That'd be horrible. You could totally crash your boat or something. Can boats crash?"
"I don't know, I don't think I should-" Why am I always being cut off when I decide to talk?
"Noo! Seriously, come on! You have to stay here; you're supposed to protect me until we find new land to call our own anyway, right?" She grabbed my arm with the one hand she had free and dragged me up the stairs into an empty room next to hers.
"You can stay here tonight. If you need anything, you can just come in my room… its right next door." She said, winking. And then she retreated into her pink paradise.
I lay down on the bed, thinking about the dream I apparently had. She doesn't really like me, we're just friends. The dream was simply what I wanted, and what I didn't want to happen, right? It was so short… I wonder what would have happened if she hadn't have cut me off? I could fantasize of what I wanted to happen all day, but that wouldn't make it come true. We're just friends. We always will be. Refusing to think of the subject anymore, I eventually fell asleep…
Zelda's POV
I woke up early this morning when the sun was just starting to get up. I sat up in my bed and looked out the window behind it. I always think about things in the morning. Things I don't fully understand.
"It's kind of sad that there are no birds here chirping in the mornings… There is no life in this underwater castle. Everything died long ago. No servants or maids. Everything is taken care of by magic. And you can't make friends with magic. You can't talk to it, it can't hold you. It can't comfort you when you have a bad dream. It's simply there. It's something you use, a tool if you will… But this harp is magical, and yet it soothes my loneliness. I feel a strange connection with it, almost like I do with Link. No, nothing can compare with the feelings I have for him. Nothing ever will."
"Wait, what am I going on about? I'd better go see if he's awake…"
I turned to stand up and get out of bed when I noticed the harp lying on the floor. Then I remembered I'd slept with it. Heh, I slept with a harp. I picked it up and examined its designs, running my fingers across the surface. The engraving was tiny, but intricate. There seemed to be hylian letters spelling out a name, but it was too small for me to see, so I gave up. I plucked one of the metal strings. Beautiful… I thought. It was an enchanting sound… it calmed my naturally hyper nature.
"Ah! I should like, go see Link, right." I said quietly talking to myself. Then I rushed out into the hallway and into his room. He was still sleeping… I walked up to him quietly, making sure not to make a sound. He looked so serene sleeping like that. I wish I could always have him like that. Eee… Just like my harp. I stepped back and turned to sit on the bed but stepped on something cold and hard.
"EEK!" I let out a loud yell. Surprisingly, he barely stirred in his sleep. He seemed very tired. I looked to down to see that I had stepped on his unsheathed sword. Gee, sure, just leave all your dangerous objects on the floor where people can trip over something and then slice their heads open, kay? I wasn't really mad at him but… he seemed so safe at one time and so dangerous at another… Maybe that's why I like him. No, it has to be more than that.
That's like saying "I like someone only 'cause they like sandwiches!". Wait… what? That doesn't make sense.
